Scheduling exercise


Posted by Alexander Z.

I've heard, lord knows where or when, that, when starting an exercise program, it's a good idea to work out one day and rest the nect, etc...

Any truth to that?

I like to alternate days of strength training and cardio by itself so that I don't overly strain my muscles.  If there seems to be too much strain I take a day or so off.
Yes, I believe that...
I have heard when you weight train. The muscle you have exercised needs rest next day. But about cardio or walking or biking or any other excersice which you do like yoga or core excercises can be done everyday.

I'm not even considering a gym.

Regular, intense basketball is enough for me; with frisbee (intense, too) thrown in now and then...

I'm with Jennifer. I think it's best to do strength training and cardio classes every other day and do yoga or pilates and be active the other days. I'm talking about taking a walk or hike, riding a bike, playing tennis or volleyball with a friend, things that let you appreciate the gains you're making in the gym.

Yours is the most original schedule I've seen here !

I think so, yes. Here's what I'm planning on doing (I say planning because, although I've done this before, I'm really bad at staying steady on my schedule):

Monday: Exercise
Tuesday: Yoga
Wednesday: Exercise
Thursday: Yoga
Friday: Exercise
Saturday: Exercise
Sunday: REST
